That there are more than 100 applications available today built with Adobe's tool to translate Flash apps into native iPhone apps shows Apple's objections have "nothing to do with technology."
Overall, his message is this: Flash is flawed, Apple doesn't need it, and the company is using its considerable power and influence to make it obsolete.Īdobe CEO Shantanu Narayen called Jobs' letter a "smokescreen" in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Jobs also knocked Flash for being proprietary, sapping battery power, not supporting multitouch interfaces, posing security risks, and being unstable. Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind." "New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). "Flash was created during the PC era-for PCs and mice," Jobs said in the letter. In a rare open letter published Thursday, Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs has detailed the technological reasons behind his company's refusal to let Adobe Systems' Flash Player onto the iPhone: he thinks it's a relic, not the future.
